Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald created Levain Bakery out of their passions for food, friendship, and hard work. They’re competitive swimmers and triathletes, and Pam and Connie passed their workouts by engaging in passionate conversations about baking. These conversations ultimately inspired them to leave their careers in fashion and finance, and open a small bread shop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan named Levain Bakery.

Today, Levain is known for their chocolate chip cookies, and has 17 locations in six cities around the United States.
